Height ~5'7"
How much weight are you trying to lose ~ 40-45 lbs. - we'll see how it goes
What type program are you doing ~ I was doing weight watchers, but had problems with it (mostly my whiny husband). So, now I am just cutting back on portion sizes and measureing them out exactly until I get a feel for what a "portion" is and I am in the military so we do pt for an hour everymorning, and then my co-workers and I also work out for an hour everynight as well.
What’s your marital status ~ I have been married to the sexiest man alove for a little over a year now
Any children and grandchildren ~ I have one son (Sean 3 1/2) from a previous marriage (yes, I know that I am only 24, but I was only married to #1 for 9 months when I filed for divorce). And he is is the States because his dead beat dad won't sigh a visa for him to relocate over here even though he hasn't paid child support ever, or seen him in 2 years. So he is living the life of a prince in WI with my parents.
Tell us about your pets ~ Back home I am used to having a gang of horses and dogs with a few cats mixed in their for good measure... BUT over here we are petless. However, right now we are watching a 7yr. old black lab for a neighboor who is currently in the middle east, so we will have the dog for a while.
What are your hobbies and interests ~ I LOVE reading all kinds of books, and trail running when it isn't 100 degrees outside. I love movies, traveling and trying out new extreme sports. Last month we went white water rafting, bungie jumping and canyoning all in one weekend.
List 2 of your all-time favorite movies ~That's a tough call.. A Few Good Men, and then if I am bored -- I love watching the "Friends" episodes!!
If you could spend the day with a famous person,
who would you choose, and why ~ Steve from The Crocodile Hunter and his wife.. I think they would be a blast to hang out with!!
Other comments ~ For some reason this weight loss has been really hard for me... I have been working on the same #s since May. I have been really depressed since I arrived here in Jan. I hate being away from my baby, and I hate my job. But I am here for a little over a year yet and I need to get through it. I figured focusing on my weight loss would be a good, healthy divirsion. So, here I go!
Age: 63 until 9/14; but I don't FEEL or look that "old"!

Location: western Canada (land of big skies and big dreams).
Height: 5'9"
How much weight are you trying to lose? : I am GOING to lose around 70 pounds of stress-related fat.
What type of program are you using?: 1200 cal./day, largely the Mediterranean diet, with an exercise program.
What's your marital status: Currently single. My wonderful male partner died 17 years ago; and "pickings have been slim" (bad pun!) in terms of "live wire" males since then. Lots of older men seem to be looking for a caretaker rather than for an equal partner, IMHO.
Children and grandchildren: 2 adult sons, 2 grandchildren (7 and 9 years old).
Pets: 1 cat, who loves to play "hide and seek" in the house.
Hobbies and interests: Home decor and garden projects, travel and exploring cultures, writing, photography, history and architecture, singing (blues, jazz, gospel, semi-professionally), cooking and entertaining.
2 all-time favourite movies: "Auntie Mame" for its message about
enjoying life as fully as possible; "Philadelphia", about compassion and tolerance.
Comments: I'm looking forward to sharing ideas and progress in this forum.
